I'm working in Oakland this week. Today was the General Strike.
This whole Occupy movement doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I mean, aspects of it are interesting, and I understand the reasons for the most part. But I also think the way most people are trying to protest is kind of stupid. And a "General Strike" just in general? Seems pointless. However, "When in Rome..." right? So, I actually went down to where the protest was going on tonight.
In light of it all, today I am thankful for freedom, and free speech, and excercising ideas for change, even if and when we don't all agree.
